We were pleasantly surprised to find out we could walk to the French quarter in just 3 minutes, and it only took us 5 minutes to reach Bourbon Street. The hotel's location was within walking distance to the vibrant French Quarters and the beautiful Louis Armstrong Park. We were willing to sacrifice luxury for economy and found that this hotel provided great value for the price. Additionally, the hotel facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. Despite being budget-friendly, the hotel exceeded our expectations and we couldn't complain given the amount we paid.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, situated in the vibrant Treme neighborhood, just a stone's throw away from the bustling French Quarter. The hotel facilities were great, and we especially loved the cozy patios and the beautiful plants throughout the property.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff was exceptional, with three out of four members being incredibly helpful. The location was perfect for our agenda, as it was close to Bourbon Street and in a kind neighborhood. We felt safe walking back late at night, with the locals being friendly and welcoming. The hotel facilities, especially the balconies, provided a sense of community where we could meet people from all over the world. Additionally, the free parking in a secure lot with surveillance cameras was a rare find in this city. The staff's attention to safety, like checking on us when we took some time in the parking lot, was greatly appreciated.
